Roblox is a world of worlds

Roblox is a huge hit: it has been for years. It is played monthly by about 200 million people and that is no exaggeration. 200. Million. Reason for us to try out the app and discuss it in App of the Week.

Roblox is a game that is played by many adults, but perhaps even more children. It is also very funny and you are never done, because everyone can create and add new levels that you can then try again. You can come up with your own games and make them very easily within Roblox, which makes it an app that appeals to the imagination.

The nice thing is that you don’t have to. If you don’t want to make games, but only want to play those of others: fine. There is plenty of choice: you can suddenly be a patient in a hospital, or play with a puppy: there are so many games and so much creativity that has already been unleashed on the Roblox world that you can really enjoy yourself. Or if you just want to customize your Roblox figure because there are a lot of fun appearances to choose from, you can do that too. That freedom is very nice, but there is also a catch.

That catch is called Robux. Robux is the currency used in this free-to-play game. You already come across it when you want to customize your character, because you can only customize certain things if you pay money. Robux costs real money and that is something that parents of children in particular have a lot of discussion about with their offspring. After all, children have no idea what value money represents, and parents don’t necessarily want to spend a lot on virtual things that the child might enjoy for just five minutes.

Children

In addition, the question is whether you should expose your children to Roblox anyway: people can make their own games, so a child may experience something that it is still a little too young for. Although that is often the responsibility of the parents: it is a game for 12 years and older, but often much younger children play it. We understand that on the one hand, because the appeal is very great due to all that choice, but yes, such an age indication is of course not there for nothing.

Roblox is a fun game that consists of numerous games that will keep you playing. Definitely worth trying once, although you do have to create a username and password for it. You can also do a lot in the game without spending Robux. You can even make a game of not spending Robux. So you see: it really is all games in one, that Roblox.
